Sunday XXXI? NOOOOO! All Saints (and All Souls, too!)

There is no Sunday XXXI this Year.  You read that right!  November 1, the Solemnity of All Saints, falls on a Sunday this year, thus trumping Sunday XXXI.  The weekdays of Week XXXI, of course, still exist.

For the month of November, we'll be using the "Laus Tibi Mass" (except for All Souls).

On this post, we'll bring you the music lists for both November 1 and 2 - All Saints and All Souls, respectively.

On All Souls Day, for both Masses (9 AM and 7 PM, both in the Church), the Introit, Communion, and Recessional chants are all in Latin.  A translation will be provided on the worship sheets for that day.  Also, anyone who has attended funerals at Sacred Heart since 2001 has probably heard these chants at least once.
